Chapter 7 - THE HEIST

A taxi stops at the entrance of the Central City Police Department.

Barry alights from the taxi and walks into the station.

"Good morning Peter", Barry waved as he greeted one of the policemen.

"Hey Barry how're ya doing"

Joe is walking along the corridor when he sees Barry come in. He moves close to him and whispers,

" We have something to discuss Barry"

" Alright ", Barry replied.

IN JOE'S OFFICE

........

" The blast from nine months caused you to have " super powers "?" Joe asked in disbelief stressing the word "super powers"

" Well according to the team at star labs, the wave from the blast created a lightning which struck me. I was also doused in my chemicals. So roughly, the reaction is my superspeed. Kinda sounds like those stories mom used to read me" Barry said.

" *sigh* Hope you haven't tol..... " Joe was cut short by Barry..

" No Joe, I've not told Iris. It might put her in danger, I know" He explained

" That's a relief then. Carry on with your work then" Joe said

Barry left the office and went up the stairs to his office.

I haven't had enough of time to really get used to this body, time for a change.

He begins to meditate, remembering as much as he could from his previous world.

( Wait a sec, Isn't Iris gonna call me any mome...)

******* PHONE RINGS *******

Barry quickly gets off the chair wearing a knowing smile as he picks up the phone.

" Hello "

" Hey Barry, how are doing ", Iris said

" Hi Iris, I'm doing great. Why'd u call? ", Barry asked.

" I'm going to a gathering honouring Scientist Stagg. And I want you to accompany me. Do you think you can find time for it?", Iris asked.

"No problem, You're my, huh.... best friend and this is the least I can do", he replied.

" Great, thank you. Come by at 11", Iris replied gleefully.

AT 11:12pm

Barry alights from a taxi wearing a T-shirt, jeans and a pair of sneakers.

( I should have just super sped here, the taxi fare is drilling a hole in my pocket)

He walks up to the door of a house and rang the doorbell.

The door was opened after a few seconds.

" Barry! You're here pretty early. Come in", Iris said

Barry enters the house and closes the door behind him.

" I'm not done with my preparations. Gimme about ten minutes ", She said and turned around going into a room.

" Ok then", he mumbled.

11:32pm....

Iris comes out of the room wearing a red gown and a pair of heels.

" How do I look", she asks wearing a smile.

( Woah! She looks even more beautiful up close)

" Yo... you look amazing", he replied.

" Ok then, let's get going", she said gleefully.

AT THE GATHERING.....

....this is done in the honour of scientist Simon Staggs.

**claps***claps***claps***claps**

" Barry, what about.....

**gunshots***gunshots*** gunshots**

" Everybody put your hands where I can see 'em", a man clothed in black said.

Six men wearing the same clothes with a gun in their hands suddenly moved out.

" Bring out all your jeweleries and bring it foward"

In the midst of all the confusion, Barry super speeds out of the building and heads straight for STAR labs.

He enters the STAR labs and grabs his suit and quickly leaves.

The gunmen were about to leave when Barry arrives clothed as the Flash.

" Ill ask nicely, put your weapons down and we'll talk this over a cup of coffee in prison", Barry said with a smirk on his face.

( Damn, I've always wanted to do this heroic talk)

" Can you even listen to yourself, you sound so damn stupid", one of the guys said

" Running around the city, saving people, you must be tired why don't cha take a rest", he added.

Barry immediately dashes forward toward the gunmen.

( Just need to go for master clone. Signs of weakness, huh? But they all look pretty

calm to me, wait a minute, one of them's sweating. BINGO!)

As he was advancing towards the robbers, all of them suddenly fired their guns. Being at such a close range, he couldn't dodge them...
